Match Report Date 06/08/15 Oppo Woodgreen (a) Type 35 Overs Report by Liam Mulholland O's finished their New Forest tour at the picturesque ground of Woodgreen, on a beautiful day for cricket the O's fielded a very strong batting line up and looked set for a huge score batting first on a perfect day for batting. Frustratingly only Riches with 41 stayed in long enough to really trouble the scorers, only a useful unbeaten last wicket partnership between Marsh 20 & Mulholland 12 inched the O's to a disappointing 201-9 off 35 overs, at least 50 shy off a par score, Ian Cousins with 4-28 the pick of the bowlers. O's picked up early wickets but a rapid 90 from Harding kept the hosts the hunt, the game could have gone either way but wickets continued to tumble, eventually Woodgreen being bowled out just 16 short of the O's total. Chintan Shah finishing with 2-28 completing a very good week on his first tour as top wicket taker for the week. A thoroughly excellent 4 days of cricket finished honours even with 2 wins and 2 defeats, lets see who is available on Sunday for the visit of Capricorn.
